What is The Lobby On Hill Street?

The bar has been designed to transform itself from a 7am Starbucks coffee shop to a cocktail parlour at night.

And from a daytime lifestyle bar with multimedia work spaces to a fully-fledged street food dining destination.

The Lobby’s main entrance will be on the corner of Hill Street and Smallbrook Queensway.

A soft opening invitation only launch takes place on Thursday, October 20 followed by an official launch on October 27.

In the meantime further work on a pavement level terrace outside the main entrance including some 80 covers with heating is underway.

Cocktails include classic, signature, short and long – with prices from £7 to £8.50 across the range.

Classic cocktails range from Bellini (peach puree and peach liqueur mixed with Prosecco, £7) up to Old Fashioned (Bourbon, sugar cube, few dashes of bitters stirred together and garnished with orange peel, £8).

Venue manager Blake Chadwick, 28, who previously worked for All Bar One, Miller & Carter and M&B as well as once running a cocktail bar in Vietnam, says: “We are going to cover all bases here at The Lobby, offering everything from cocktail masterclasses to locally-sourced food served at high street prices.”
